There is muscle pain and then referred pain which can be in the same or different areas (usually there is overlap).

In this case the levator scapulae refers to the red area, the muscle is partly found under this red referred area but you have to be careful as to where to place your pressure for releases to make sure you are getting the right part.

Try these 4 ways to release trigger points…they are great!
